Lira da Braccio Tuner - Lanfranco Tuning (A=463)

Lira da Braccio Tuner - DdGgdae (Lanfranco) Tuning (A=463hz)

Lira da braccio was a European bowed string instrument of the Renaissance. It is most closely related to the medieval fiddle, or vielle.
It was first cited in 1533 by Giovanni Maria Lanfranco (using the term seven-stringed lyra), also describing its tuning (The one in THIS Video)

There are TWO "standard" tunings for this instrument proposed by Lanfranco and Praetorius (which you can also find in this channel)
*This is tuned to A=463Hz (reference and preference for some players)* (which is about a half step higher than normal A440 pitch)

*This is a demonstration of one of the ways to tune a Lira Da Braccio*
(Thanks to Luis F. Silva AKA Jerjes for recording it with his Lira da Braccio)

STRINGS - NOTE - OCTAVE:
1 = E (5)
2 = A (4)
3 = D (4)
4 = G (4)
5 = G (3)
6 = D (4)
7 = D (3)

The numbers between "()" indicate the octave of the note selected, to differenciate it from the others with the same name, it basically says which pitch for that note to play

I made this tuner for you to practice your ear skills.
